    some ovens have self cleaning panels inside. You have to turn in on a very high heat with nothing in and the panels seem to just burn off spills/food etc.
    Dunno if yours would do it if you were to try.
    I came into this world with nothing and I'm gonna leave with nothing.

    I think there are things you can do with a paste of bicarb and water - must be on a thread here somewhere. But I make up a strong solution of bio clothes-washing powder, soak a nasty old towel in it and lie it flat on floor of oven and go out shopping or something. Keep the towel damp with the solution and after about 5 hours min, have a peep and see if you can get the black off. Lakeland do a fab oven liner thing which you put on the floor of your (clean) oven to protect it, and I keep my oven floor OK by using one of those.
